DOMESTIC PRODUCT CROWDSOURCING PLATFORM

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Poultry farming is a thriving global industry that involves

raising avian species

for their meat, eggs, or feathers. The term "poultry" encompasses

a diverse group of birds,

including chickens, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl, geese, quail,

pigeons, ostriches, and pheasants.

Chickens are the most commonly farmed species worldwide, while

ducks and turkeys are more

prevalent in specific regions such as Asia and North America,

respectively. According to the

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),

the poultry industry plays a

significant role in global food production.[1]

In Guimaras, Philippines, the local poultry industry faces

various challenges that

hinder its growth and its potential to contribute to the local

economy. Researchers have identified

a key problem: limited consumer awareness about the diverse range

of poultry products produced

locally in Guimaras, including turkeys, quails, ducks, geese, and

guinea birds. As a result, there is

minimal demand for these products, leading farmers to export

their goods to other cities such as
Iloilo. Additionally, natural disturbances like trip suspensions,
lockdowns, or bird flu outbreaks

can result in instances of overproduction when exports are not

possible.

This study aims to address these challenges by proposing the

development of a

web-based platform called the "Domestic Product Crowdsourcing

Platform". This platform will

utilize the concept of crowdsourcing, leveraging the internet,

social media, and smartphone apps

to gather information, opinions, and services from a large group

of people. By bridging the gap

between consumers and poultry owners, the platform will

facilitate the promotion and marketing

of locally produced poultry products. Poultry owners will have

the opportunity to showcase their

products and provide detailed information, while consumers will

gain access to a wide range of

poultry product information.

Furthermore, the platform will offer reservation and sales

options, allowing

consumers to secure their desired products. This will promote a

more efficient and organized

system for the poultry industry in Guimaras, benefiting both

producers and consumers alike.
EVALUATION OF THE CASE

This study provides a detailed explanation of the procedures and

methods used to

analyze and design the system to accomplish its objectives. The

system's approach aims to support

researchers in developing a platform that facilitates the

connection between buyers and sellers or

producers, with the collaboration of the Department of

Agriculture (DA).

This chapter delves into the technical background of the project,

including the

specific details of the technology to be employed. It outlines

how the project will work, providing

a comprehensive project description.

Technicality of the Project

The researchers conducted a thorough review of literature and

evaluated various

technology solutions for the study. The aim is to find software

and technologies that will enhance

the development of the domestic products crowd sourcing platform.

This platform is designed as a

web-based system where poultry producers can showcase their

products for sale or trade, and

consumers can access information such as details about the

poultry, contact information, and

location.
As the study is focused on Information Technology, certain
technical terms may

only be understood by those familiar with the field of IT. The

following technical terms will be

utilized in the project: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap,

Sublime text 3, PHP, and MySQL.

RECOMMENDATION

This can be a recommendation about the implementation of the

system to the

respondents or a recommendation about the improvement of the

current system or a combination.

Out of the derived conclusion, the researchers came up with the

following recommendations for

the future researchers who will conduct the same study.

1. Add Accounting/Financial Statement in the producer’s side.

2. Generate Financial Reports.

3. Add Payment Methods/Mode of payment.

4. For payment try PayPal for testing.

5. Add Inventory of products (Stocks in and Stock out).

6. Add the Registration Process between the Consumers and

Producers.

7. Try to consult Agriculture Specialist for the categorization

of your products.
8. For Users, Add the Complete Details for the security of the
system. (Contact Details,

Address etc.).

9. Encrypt the password of the users.

10. All important Information should be in required field.

11. Age should be Dynamic.

12. Add Notification Page.

13. Use 5W’s and 1H question for scope and limitation.

14. Discuss the conceptual framework.

15. Include the conceptual detailed process flow of the system

1. Kickstarter: Kickstarter is a well-known crowdfunding

platform that allows individuals to raise funds for various
projects, including domestic product development. It
provides a platform for creators to showcase their ideas and
products to a wide audience, who can then pledge financial
support in exchange for rewards or early access to the
product.

2. Indiegogo: Indiegogo is another popular crowdfunding

platform that supports domestic product crowdsourcing. It
enables entrepreneurs and innovators to raise funds for
their projects, offering various campaign options such as
fixed funding or flexible funding. Indiegogo also provides
additional support and resources to help creators bring
their products to market.
 3. Quirky: Quirky is a unique crowdsourcing platform that
focuses on product invention and development. It allows
individuals to submit their product ideas, which are then
evaluated by the Quirky community. If a product idea is
selected, Quirky provides resources for product development,
manufacturing, and distribution.

4. BackerKit: BackerKit is a platform that helps creators

manage their crowdfunding campaigns, including domestic
product projects. It offers tools for managing backer data,
surveys, and fulfillment, streamlining the process of
delivering rewards to supporters.

5. Crowd Supply: Crowd Supply is a crowdfunding platform

specifically designed for hardware and technical projects.
It supports domestic product crowdsourcing by providing
resources for project creators, including manufacturing,
fulfillment, and marketing assistance.

These platforms provide opportunities for individuals and small

businesses to showcase their domestic product ideas, raise funds,
and connect with a community of supporters. However, it's
important to thoroughly research and understand the terms, fees,
and requirements of each platform before launching a
crowdsourcing campaign.
